Thats right. My wife hated Cell phones, till yesterday...
Do you believe it ?! You better believe it.
There was actually a soul(even my son likes to play with it) who didn't want have the magic gadget in her wallet. She is one in million (I should say) who doesn't like to carry cellphones and don't like me talking too long over the cell phone(may be all wifes like that, I don't know). In this world of gadget manics who wait 2- 3 days in front of the store to just put their hands on the first iphones. Here she was, who never bothered to have this simple cell phone to communicate. I know she is little different but didn't expect to be this peculiar.
She had her own reasons and I respected it. She is my wife after all who else would do. First reason being, she never went out alone much as we had only one vehicle and I take to work everyday. Because of that, she was never pushed to a situation to communicate on any urgency. She had some silly ones. She worried about losing it like every other mom and more importantly she didn't want to be bothered when she is at friends place. I know they were silly ones but I have to respect it after all she is my wife.
It was ok with me until few months. I got a truck now and she started driving her own car. Now she goes out with our 1 year old son to libraries, friends places and grocery shopping. God only know what if something happens. How will I know about it was my big concern. So I been strongly insisting her to get a phone. She kept neglecting my offer for a new phone. Who would ever want to say NO to a free cell phone paid all but she did until 2 days ago?!
For some other purpose, we really wanted a way for her to communicate me when she was away from home. So she agreed finally to get a phone. I did my research and tried to stay away from any long term commitments because I am still not sure what will be reaction to it. I bought a cheap but a good prepaid phone and handed over to her. She was bit hesitate to store in her handbag and not a happy camper. Its her first Cell phone ever.
When she told me an interesting true story about the cell phone yesterday. I was thrilled to hear all about it. She used to take my son to library for kids play time every Wednesday and she was there yesterday. Looks like there were lot of mama's who are usuals to this kids time. Its all chat time and fun for kids. At the end, they were all leaving. One American lady accidentally put her 6months old kid in the car and everyting including key her cell phones inside locked herself out. She has no way to open it or call for help. She got panic and reaching out for help. She was asking people to give their cell phones to call her husband. My wife was happy to help and lend her new cell phone to let her call her husband. She tried to call her husband to get code to open the door(some ford cars has the door with code to open, thats good) Finally she got hold of him, got the gode and opened it. She was so relieved and thanked my wife a lot for the help.
It was as if my wife got the cellphone to just help her. Who knows Gods has this instant on store for my wife to help somebody.
I immediately responded to my wife after the story, "Do you now agree that Cell phone is a must to have now?!". She is still like, "Yeah, May be".
I replied to her "What if something similar happens to you, just imagine". Thats true, it would have been pathetic. Finally she is getting out of the Cell Phone phobia and starting to get use to her new attachment in her life.
Life without cell phone these days.. No way right ?! I tell you, in no time she will an addict.
Do you believe it ?! You better believe it.
